I want more of "Grandmother smell" !

Many may say some scents has an outdated vibe, but i usually like some gradmom scents. I did not have a reference of this kind of smell so i never do this association. Onee basenoter told about Antaeus, and sure i really like it's mature drydown. I am now in love with troisieme man by Caron which has some powdery-musk drydown that is quite mature. Can you guys say some more scents in the type of 3th man? Thank you.

For the elegant grandmother, try these. Many from the 1950s and older. All can be safely worn by men as women's scents of the past were not fruity, sweet florals:

Jolie Madame, violet and leather
Cabochard, a great leather
Bandit, a fab leather good enough for a Harley rider
Shalimar, the ultimate oriental
Vol de Nuit, green with herbs and florals
Mitsouko, the ultimate chypre
L'Heure Bleue, an herbal floral, 1912
Apres L'Ondee, herbal and traditional, 1906
Cuir de Lancome, flora; smokey leather
Azuree (1969), great herbal leather
Miss Dior (older version and not the new one with the old name), green
Clinique Aromatics Elixir (1971), lots of oakmoss and florals
